3.5/4

Excellent! I omitted the basil (just didn't sound good) and added in some asparagus. The dressing, spiced goat cheese rounds, and veggies were all superb and the flavors blended perfectly. Will definitely make this again.

Delicious. I grilled the goat cheese rounds with the coating for a few minutes and it worked well.

I loved this salad. I wasn't sure if the cumin, olives, sesame seeds, etc would work together but they did. I used veggies from the actual farmer's market which made this transcendant. I can't wait to make it again.

I just made this and followed the recipe except I didn't use the sesame seeds - I thought it might be too much for my kids. it was great - everyone loved it. The dressing was great - not too acidic. This salad would be fantastic with grilled ahi or salmon, and maybe a little avocado. i'll try that next time! It's also good just as it is.

This was a delicious dinner salad, did not make any changes to the recipe. Looking forward to making it again. Took the leftovers for lunch the next day and all of my co-workers wanted to know if I had brought it from home or purchased at work, and were disappointed when they were not able to buy one.

Delicious main course salad that I will enthusiastically make again! I made just a few tweaks...I roasted fingerling potatoes with olive oil and fresh rosemary instead of steaming; I used half the cumin in the goat cheese rounds; and I used sauvignon blanc vinegar (Katz's late harvest) instead of red wine in the dressing. Also, I didn't use as many greens as called for. The results were beautiful and yummy. Nice recipe.

Delicious salad! Made it as a main course and served with some bread :). Loved the herb crusted goat cheese rounds and didn't find it that fiddly. The only changes that I made were that I didn't have a shallot and used garlic instead. I also added a yellow pepper because I had one in the fridge. I will definitely be making this again.

This was delicious with the following changes...
I coated the potatoes with a little olive oil, sprinkled with the seasoning left from the cheese and roasted in the oven. I didn't have a shallot on hand so I used a tablespoon each of chopped sweet onion and fresh chives. Also, I used a seasoned rice wine vinegar and the dressing was still too tart for my taste so I sweetened it with a little honey. Fabulous!

I used fresh basil from garden and thought it was too much. I will use less next time. Hubby and granddaughter liked the salad, tho'. I didn't make the cheese rounds as I served it with grilled hamburgers.
